In the Fitness Goals forum a poster was moaning about middle age.  I replied with the following post (no response to it yet).  I liked my answer, so I'm putting it here.  - eh, so there are some things about aging that suck, but truthfully? 10) I know who the heck I am 9) I RECOGNIZE my mistakes when I make them again 8) My body has changed so much over the years that I'm used to being adaptable 7) I don't have to worry about hair care products anymore 6) The clothes I wore as a young man are now a really hip Halloween costume 5) I am actually able to think with the head on my shoulders now 4) Everything goes with gray 3) Wrinkles hide the skin blemishes, gives my face "character" 2) The noises my body makes are quite entertaining (some nights it's practically a concerto) 1) It beats the alternative :)
